EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in Italian history - the plebiscite for the annexation of the Kingdom of Naples to Italy in 1860. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal event during the Risorgimento movement. In the foreground, we see people gathered around ballot boxes, eagerly participating in this democratic process. Their faces reflect hope and determination as they cast their votes for unification. The image symbolizes not only their desire for political change but also their unwavering patriotism. The background reveals another layer of meaning with its powerful message: "Viva Vittorio Emmanele (Victor Emmanuel) Re D Italia" which corresponds to "Viva V. E. R. D. I". This clever play on words pays homage to both King Victor Emmanuel II and renowned composer Giuseppe Verdi, who were prominent figures supporting Italian unification. It serves as a reminder that art and politics often intertwine during times of national transformation. The Perrin lithograph beautifully captures this historical moment with intricate details and expert craftsmanship. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when ordinary citizens fought passionately for unity and freedom. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who believed in creating one nation out of many kingdoms - Italy.
